Looking for a buddy who logs in a lot :)

Km- I am so so glad not only are you Ttc and taking clomid but even more so that you're going on vacation! You deserve it and you need the relaxation. Good luck girl!!

My appointment is Thursday (so close!). I'm nervous but excited. It's supposed to take an hour and that includes a transvaginal ultra sound so we'll see.
The nurse said he'll go over all of or results and then talk about a treatment plan. So well actually have a plan on Thursday. It's insane to think about.
As far as AF it's really really light, not exactly AF material but it's consitent so not spotting either.

So as of yesterday af was late. I took a FRER and it was negative, which I knew it would be as my progesterone came back that I didn't ovulate. But I had to test to be sure as I can't take provera while pregnant. So I started the provera yesterday.

I've been cramping for days and it feels like af is coming sometimes and then I go to the bathroom and nothing is there. I had pms starting a week before af was due. Now I am just weepy and crampy with lower back pain.

So now I am on provera for 7 days and I should hopefully have af by April 1st.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Aayla- the first of the month would be a great time to start a new cycle. A new cycle that you'll get your bfp!

 

[Aayla]

It would be awesome for many reasons. My dad's bday is on April 30th. So I am hoping she comes soon as I would love to be able to test before or on and be able to announce on his bday.

I'm also really hoping this is it as my mc due date is May 4 and depending on when cd 1 is that will roughly be when af is due next. My bday and mother's day are in May as well. It's going to be a hard month.

 

[Aayla]

Totally gutted. Got a call from the doc in regards to going on metformin. They said they want me on provera for 2 months and they have to do another biopsy afterwards, because of the hyperplasia. If the hyperplasia is not back then they said they will look at adding metformin when they discuss the trigger shot. I didn't realize we were moving on to that.

So now I am back to waiting. as much as I want to disregard what the doc wants (because it is tempting since the femera is sitting right beside me) I feel they know what they are doing. And I did want this break to lose weight.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Oh my gosh aayla. I'm so sorry. Even if it's for medical reasons it's completed heartbreaking to stop Ttc. You're in my thoughts and I'm hoping it's not back.

 

[Aayla]

I am pretty sure it's not. my last biopsy was just after my mc and everything was fine. I'm really sad about having to go through May not pregnant. May 4th was my due date and May 8th is Mother's Day and May 12 is my birthday. It is going to be a sad month. My biopsy will happen around the end of the month. I have to set the appt one week before I stop my pills. Which is actually on my birthday. lol

Provera also makes it incredibly difficult to lose weight. I went to my family doc once, who didn't know why I was on it, and I asked him about losing weight and I told him my meds and he said, first thing...get off the provera...that makes you gain weight. But since I need it because it keeps the hyperplasia at bay that isn't an option. So now I have to fight not only my biological obstacles but now medicinal ones as well. I need to lose 40 lbs by the end of this round of provera. I don't think they will move on with me at this weight. the 40 lb loss will put me at what I was when I first started this last year.


The only light I see is that the trigger shot will have us more timed and less of a chance of missing the window. To know that I will ovulate within 36 hours is a good thing and hopefully hubby will not cave under pressure but if we make sure that we take the day off the day previous then he should be good to go.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I understand your frustration. Can you ask your RE about getting help to loose weight. Maybe something to help. But I am happy about the trigger shot for you! I think that'll help you get pregnant quickly.

 

[Aayla]

I think if I become diligent in cutting out carbs and making sure I workout everyday then I should see some progress. I was sent to a weight loss specialist awhile ago (I only stopped going because it took over 2 hours by bus to get there and I don't drive). She put me on a program that had me eating 75g of carbs to start and to slowly cut it to under 50g. I also had to work out for an hour everyday. If I start with 75g of carbs and 30 min of workout I should see something.

I plan on keeping a diary for my doc because if I don't lose weight I can show them that I have been doing what I need to do but it's the pills that are working against me.

I'm thinking of doing a road race. I have walk/run a 5k and a 10k before and I was so fit back then. So I am thinking if I focus on training for something and not working out for the sake of working out then it will keep me motivated.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I've done a 5k and I want to do another one too! I've been walking 1.5 miles every other day and the days I don't walk I run 1 Mile. I'm trying to improve my time. Look at the Dr. Oz day off diet. It's basically helping you cut out carbs. I do it and I eat about 50-75 carbs a day. But they're all complex carbs no simple carbs. It seems to be helping me.

 

[kmpreston]

Aalya I'm sorry you're having to delay it all but it sounds like you are putting a postive spin on it

Mrs G how did your appointment go?

 

[mrs.green2015]

Km- my appointment is this afternoon. Less than 2 hours to go! Eeekk. Very excited and nervous.

 

[Aayla]

Hope your appt goes well. What is it for again?

 

[mrs.green2015]

It's out first appointment with out RE. So he'll go over our test results and the come up with an action plan

 

[Aayla]

Ah. Right. That's awesome. A plan is nice to have.

 

[kmpreston]

So what's the plan?!

 

[mrs.green2015]

I forgot to update!

My doctor is amazing. He's so focused on getting me pregnant quickly. It's so weird so hear since from my Gyno it's always, keep waiting it'll happen.

He out my on 100mg in clomid starting today and if not pregnant in 3 months we will reevaluate.

Oh good, same dosage as me. Watch out for the mood swings and headaches. Guess we are in a race now cause I have got two more months left after this one too!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Km- we better get our bfps within the next couple months! What day do you take the clomid and when do you typically ovulate? Im cd3-7?

 

[Aayla]

So glad you are on a plan now. I was on clomid days 3-7. It can also make you gain weight. I gained 10 lbs in a week. But my size never changed so I don't think it was fat. It didn't make me ovulate so we switched to letrozole.

Fx for this cycle!!
